It took 44 firefighters about 45 minutes to extinguish the fire, which was located on the top floor in a kitchen and spread to the attic.

A firefighter suffered a possible back injury while another hurt his knee, Delasho said. They were treated at a local hospital.

The fire's cause is under investigation but does not appear suspicious.

It could be weeks before residents can return to the four-story building, which suffered extensive damage on its top floor. About seven people were displaced and they were believed to be staying with relatives.
